Audio on Nokia 8 - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

I was wondering if it is just me, but these are the issues my Nokia 8 has:
-media volume control starts at 40%, so wired headphones are way too loud even on lowest setting
-Bluetooth audio quality is just horrible, with hisses and buzzing,same headphones work fine with other devices
-hiss while using external speaker. Every time a sound is output, there will be a hiss/buzz that continues for a couple seconds after sound output stops
Any experiences with that? And more importantly, any fix?

It must be your phone only.
I've no issues with audio at all.
Audio quality over Bluetooth is really good, much better than any other phone I've owned.

HD7 A2DP Quality?

Is anyone having any issues with A2DP quality on her HD7? I switched to a HD7 from an Android device and I'm noticing that music playing over A2DP seems a bit chopped (at higher levels) on the HD7.
You can't notice it on every song but on a lot of songs it sounds like the higher levels are getting compressed out or something.
Can't say I've noticed. I'm playing Bluetooth audio through my car stereo and it sounds pretty good to me.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
If I don't have the HD7's volume at 30, but more at the halfway point, the sound gets better but then in my car I have to turn it to max volume and it isn't very loud.
It's like the A2DP volume output is too low, and it's way lower than when I use the headphone jack in my car.

[Q] headphones bad quality

ok guys i got this problem with some headphones :
when i volume up the music to more than 0db using the voodoo audio booster my headphones just like unplug they dont actually unplug but its the same effect, the music stops and turns on again in 1-2 sec with like -30db. I got this problem with the SGS 2 headphones plugged into my SGS 1.
Did you set some sort of volume limit in the voodoo control app?
First wow dude 0 dB is loud. I have only even approached -10 dB using it as line-out, up near -20 dB on headphones is ear-splitting.
Second the -30 dB is the jack plug-in safety option. You can turn it off in the voodoo control app but it is activating because the headphones are being 'unplugged', which is the real problem.
ok so first my limit is +5db , and i know its loud i had never listened that loud to my last headphones ( the original SGS ones) and i dont know but i think the problem is not that much in the hardware but in the software. When i even get close to 0db the sound gets real crappy, and when i connect it to the laptop and turn them really loud the sound is perfect so the headphones dont have like a limit or something because i have several audio boosts on my laptop too. What i am trying to say that the problem is not in the headphones, and when i try get my music on the phone to more than -5db it sounds like -15db or something like that any ideas ? i think i have 3 options
1) problem in the phone
2) problem in the headphones
3) problem with the voodoo app
ohh and the other day i used these HTC headphones they had a button on the mic and when i listened to the music the sound was crappy and they were unplugging when i got my music to 0db but when i press and hold the button the quality was perfect and they were not unplugging. So again anyone any ideas

Low quality bluetooth audio to headphones, car audio, anything

Hey y'all,
I've had my note 4 for a couple of weeks now and am decently satisfied with the phone (don't get me started on how laggy touchwiz is - waiting on L update). Anyway I'm having an issue with bluetooth that is driving me insane. My previous phone was a nexus 5 that I always paired with my car and my sony bluetooth headset. I had no audio quality issues and the sound was clean enough for bluetooth. I only play decently high quality music and have the ears to hear the difference in sound so after paring my note 4 to the same devices, the highs are very crackly and come through with ear piercing noise and the lows are mostly gone as I cannot hear the punchy bass anymore in songs. I then proceeded to turn off bluetooth then plugged in the device with an aux cable and to no surprise the sound quality increased tremendously. The bass of the song came through and the highs were perfectly clear.
I tried various songs of various quality, various music players (current is poweramp - always have had best quality music from it), but to no avail. Sound is still really bad quality. Other issues I've had is my plantronics bluetooth headset randomly transmitting white noise to my ears and to the person on the other end. This does not happen with an LG G3. And also my LG G watch tends to randomly disconnect for a minute or two when the phone is playing audio in the car over bluetooth (this doesn't change sound quality).
I've done some research about this issue and I've found some forums and people talking about the Note 3 having bad quality audio and that switching to an aosp rom fixed it since that switched the bluetooth stack from samsung to android/google. I've also seen someone noticing that the bitpool on the note 3 dropped significantly when playing music and having another device connected, however with or without my watch I still get low quality sound. So I've come to you guys. My phone is not rooted, knox counter is at 0x0 and I don't know what to do. I feel like this is a universal issue with the note 4 and the samsung bluetooth stack and am not sure how to tackle this problem. Let me know what you guys think or if you have a similar experience!

Hissing when playing audio through headphones.

There's a hissing/static noise whenever audio starts. If I pause it'll stop after a few seconds. Anyone know the cause of this?
I'm also interested in this. When I tried playing in my car, firstly I thought it could be software or some equalization problem. But, even deactivating all, that hiss continued so maybe it could be the quality of audio cable (quite poor).
Trying at home with a quite decent pair of earphones: Sennheiser IE8, I still can hear the hiss. It is much less hearable (suppose less amplification of sound, I've been listening music at maximum level to detect it), but also here.
I think there are only 2 possibilities: bad software/ROM implementation or defective/bad hardware. The defective hardware is rare, I've read some opinions and all say more or less the same... I expected some more quality of sound, and more if it comes from Sony...

Static/hissing noise at low volume

Hello!
I have a problem with my new Xiaomi Mi 8. I would like to confirm if its only my device doing that or other devices too. Its running Android 9 with Miui 10.2.3.0.
When I set the lowest possible volume (not muted) the static noise is louder than the sound coming out of built in speaker or earphones connected via jack. It is pretty noticable even when the sound is set to high and there are e.g. silent parts of song. It does not matter which app I use (youtube, spotify, default music app). When I connect my bluetooth headset everything is okay and the sound is clear.
For testing purposes I am using song Kaleo - Way We Go Down. I find it most noticable there. The song even breaks and stops playing for a few milliseconds in the begining. Can you guys somehow test this issue and reply here with the results? I want to see if I am the only one having this problem.
Btw when I connect my earphones to my 4 years old iphone 6 the sound is crystal clear.
Thank you.
